You already know that the Haute Route is the most scenic trail in Europe. The Hiker's Haute Route, or Walker's Haute Route as it is known, is also a great European vacation and an unforgettable experience hiking in the Swiss Alps. Because we want you to have the best experience possible on your Haute Route trek, we’ve produced a series of short videos to help you prepare for your trip.

Whether you’re joining us on one of our guided trips, or plan on doing the Haute Route on a self-guided basis, these videos will give you the essential understanding you need to make your trip a success.


Quality trail maps are an essential part of planning your Haute Route trek. Alpenwild is the largest reseller of SwissTopo maps in the US. We sell them for the same price you'd pay for them in Switzerand, and shipping is free. Call to order any or all of the maps for your trip.


 

In the near future, we will be including other topics such as Mountain Huts, Hut Etiquette, Pass Selection, and Historic Sites. And as always, if you have any questions about the Haute Route that you don't find answered here, please call and talk with one of our Haute Route experts.
